More than 300 million vehicles have used this great link to the Redwood Empire, and this year it will carry almost 25 million cars and trucks. Redwood Empire Assn. Photo (Co. Seat Correspondent) UKIAII, May 20 The Board of Supervisors this week began the annual battle of the budget, and will be meeting almost everyday until the preliminary budget i approved. One of the first major steps taken thus far, by a 4 to 1 vote with Supervisor Harvey Sawyers opposed, was to establish the position of County Auditor-Controller one of the recommendations of the past county Grand Jury.

Under the new plan, Auditor S. K.

Borden, a subscriber to The Beacon from Paradise, who has long been interested in this coast and who is particularly interested in Railroads and ancient locomotives and who is author of the Western Railroader, a copy of which he forwarded with his letter. He forwarded to me his History of the Bear Harbor Eel River Railroad as produced in The Western Railroader.

His letter states that Reginald G. Anderson, who was recently killed, owner of tne Andersonia Lumber Company, was the grandson of Neff Anderson, for who ii Andersonia was named, who was killed in the new mill when he was hit by a falling beam when some changes were being made to the practically completed mill. Some 17 miles of railroad had been about completed to the mill from Bear Harbor, and two locomotives vere ready to transport lumber from the mill to the shipping point. Following Andersons death operations were slowed down, and then in 190G came the earthquake that devasted San Francisco. It wrecked the dam that had been built near the mill capable of storing 20,000,000 feet of logs.

This damage ran into many thousands of dollars and put a stop to all future mill (Continued On Page 8) High With Mendocinos Delmar Lydick is game at Houston, but no men- going full speed ahead in tion has been made recently of league play with the Santa Rosa Lydicks accomplishments.
